We all know that stars radiate light and much more. But radiation belts can also surround many other celestial bodies, such as planets. These belts do not generate particles themselves—the belts ...

Following weeks of escalating public opposition, the Maui County Council now stands in unanimous opposition to the military’s plan to build up to seven telescopes in a state conservation district atop ...

Astronomers are now creating 'artificial stars' using powerful lasers to overcome Earth's atmospheric distortions that blur ...

In 1873, Ernst Abbe proposed the famous diffraction limit theory, stating that the resolution of an optical system is limited by the light wavelength ...

The imaging resolution has long been constrained by the Abbe-Rayleigh diffraction limit. While the 2014 Nobel Prize recognized fluorescence microscopy, achieving single-shot, label-free far-field ...

To capture higher-definition and sharper images of cosmological objects, astronomers sometimes combine the data collected by several telescopes. This approach, known as long-baseline interferometry, ...

Space scientists have shown off an incredible image of a “space egg.” NASA said Tuesday the Hubble Space Telescope has revealed a dramatic interplay of light and shadow in what’s called the Egg Nebula ...

Go outside right now. What’s the farthest thing you can see? A tree? A bird? What about the Moon? It’s 250,000 miles away. The Sun is 400 times farther than that, at nearly 100 million miles (but ...

Prior to World War II the vast majority of telescopes built around the world were funded by wealthy people with an interest in the heavens above. However, after the war, two significant developments ...

NASA’s SPHEREx space telescope has completed its first infrared map of the entire sky in 102 colors using observations made between May and December 2025. NASA’s SPHEREx space telescope — launched in ...
